It’s taken years, but we’re finally getting the Darkoath barbarian army fans have been asking for in Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Dropping by surprise with a full box due in the not-so-distant future, this army set contains all-new models that provide a legitimate fighting force for the Darkoath. Besides the obligatory spiky monster (theyarefollowers of Chaos, after all), its ranks include loincloth-wearing barbarian footsoldiers and borderline-demonic cavalry to run down your opponents.
Because there aren’t rules for these hordes just yet, the box will be followed by a Battletome Supplement: Darkoath PDF with rules for these models and older minis that only appeared in spin-offboard gamesbefore now. (They featured inWarhammer Underworlds: GnarlwoodandWarcry: Red Harvest.)
Overall, fans seem pretty keen on this addition to the Age of Sigmar lineup. A lot of the responses on Reddit go something along the lines ofLuridofArabia’s comment that it’s a “really excellent set. AoS continues to lead the way as GW’s best miniature line.” Similarly,Bartab_Hockey_NZsays “this model release is incredible! Best box set so far IMO.”
While I’m still a big fan of the Cities of Sigmar range and those new additions to the Dark Angels (I hate to say it, but I love Space Marines now thanks to the Deathwing Assault box), it’s certainly one of the more handsome releases we’ve seen from Warhammer recently if you ask me. If nothing else, it’s great that we can field an army of those awesomeDarkoath Savagersat last.
